Chapter 91 The Suspended Soul Silk Unraveling 1
Snap!
"Meow!"
"Ouch!"
Shao Yanzhe stared blankly at Xuan Yao, not understanding why he had hit him!
Xuan Yao tilted his head, and his originally round cat eyes became sharp, revealing a wary look as if he were watching a little lamb that had almost fallen into a rut.
Shao Yanzhe rubbed his temples and said, "What do you think of my suggestion?"
Xuan Yao looked at him with exasperation: "Of course not! I advise you not to even think about it, otherwise the first person Bai Ling will kill before she goes mad will be you!"
"Alright, alright, but those four people in the white silk seem to harbor a lot of resentment. It won't be easy to dispel their resentment. We can't just keep carrying that white silk around forever, can we? What if we're not careful and it hangs someone? Wouldn't we be held responsible for that murder?"
Xuan Yao was taken aback, then said seriously, "What you said seems to make sense."
Shao Yanzhe leaned closer, glanced inside the dilapidated temple, and then lowered his voice, saying, "So, it's better to solve this once and for all. It's good for them, it's good for us, a win-win situation!"
It was pitch black all around, and the cool night breeze rustled the grass.
In this atmosphere, the human and the cat looked exactly like villains plotting something.
Just then, a loud shout rang out.
"Fine! I knew you had ill intentions! You actually wanted to kill us!"
The voice belonged to a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was floating in mid-air, his face full of anger.
He put his hands on his hips and pointed at the person and the cat: "You just wait! I'm going to tell Aya and the others right now to expose your ugly faces!"
He was about to fly into the dilapidated temple when Shao Yanzhe moved even faster. He was already prepared to attack at any time. The moment the boy turned around, his literary energy struck him like a meteor, setting up a barrier around him that rendered him unable to move, except for his eyes and mouth.
When the boy realized that he couldn't move, he started cursing at Shao Yanzhe.
"You despicable scoundrel! You actually ambushed me! If you have the guts, let me go and we'll fight one-on-one. I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"Aya! Aya! Come out and save me!"
"I advise you to let me go, or you're dead when my other companions find you!"
Shao Yanzhe ignored him, a smug expression on his face: "See, I told you so! When we went out to talk, some curious people couldn't help but eavesdrop. Look, we've caught one who was alone!"
Xuan Yao called out and stared at the boy.
The boy, who was being stared at, met Xuan Yao's heterochromatic eyes, which were a pair of golden and black pupils. He felt as if he were being watched by a natural enemy, and a sudden panic rose in his heart.
"What do you think you're doing! Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you!"
As the boy spoke, his red-eyed eyes strained to look into the dilapidated temple, hoping to find a savior.
Unexpectedly, a voice faintly sounded in my ear.
"Alright, stop looking. After luring you here, we set up a soundproof barrier around us. Even if you shout at the top of your lungs, no one will hear you. Hehe!"
The boy's face twisted in pain. He wasn't stupid; what was there to misunderstand? The despicable man and cat in front of him had just been putting on an act for him, and he had fallen for it!
His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot: "You are despicable!"
Shao Yanzhe raised an eyebrow at him, then asked, "I see you and Bai Ling are quite close, right? You must have heard what we just said. If the four of you don't get rid of the resentment and leave Bai Ling, he will soon become a demon. Are you really willing to do that?"
The boy glared at him. He knew the danger involved, but they had no way to quell the resentment.
Bai Ling, that fool, once said that she would stay with them as long as they didn't get rid of their resentment.
"Mind your own business!" he snorted, then simply closed his eyes and ignored him.
"How about this, tell me about your experience, maybe I can help you get rid of your resentment."
"You? Humph! You're a bad guy! I don't talk to bad guys!"
The boy said, then his eyes darted around and he added, "Unless you let me go."
Shao Yanzhe thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay!"
He released his grip on the boy; with the barrier in place, he wasn't worried that the boy would run away.
"Okay, can you tell me now?"
"It's not that I can't say it, but I was hanged by my father. If he hadn't died, I wouldn't have been able to get rid of the resentment in my heart."
The young man uttered his grievances in just a few words.
Then, he stared at Shao Yanzhe with a half-smile: "If you go and kill my biological father right now, I'll immediately let go of all my resentment and go to the underworld to be reincarnated!"
He crossed his arms and glanced at him sideways: "The question is, do you really dare to kill someone?"
Shao Yanzhe: ...
He's a model citizen, he really wouldn't dare to kill someone.
So he answered honestly.
"I wouldn't dare."
Although the outcome was exactly as the boy had expected, he was not happy; instead, he felt very frustrated.
"Hey! Shouldn't you, a mere scholar, say 'Dare you!' How can I quell my resentment if you don't kill my father? You never intended to help me quell my resentment at all!"
As he finished speaking, resentment slowly emanated from his body, and this resentment stirred, wanting to envelop Shao Yanzhe.
However, before they could even make contact, Xuan Yao swatted them away with a single claw.
Then, he gave the boy a warning look.
The boy shuddered, remembering how Xuan Yao had brutally beaten A-Ling and the other four. He chose to follow his heart and quickly gathered his resentment into his soul.
"Of course I'll help. Now take me to your house. If things are really as you say, then you can take revenge yourself. Wouldn't that be even more satisfying?"
The boy's eyes lit up instantly: "You're right! How come I didn't realize I'm a ghost now? I can take revenge myself!"
As he spoke, his bloodshot eyes were filled with rage.
The intense emotional turmoil caused resentment to churn within him, making his face appear increasingly pale.
"Hehe, if that's the case, then I won't trouble you, you scholar. I'll go by myself!"
After he finished speaking, his resentment, enveloping his soul, burrowed into the ground and effortlessly escaped from the barrier.
Shao Yanzhe stared at the departing figure and asked, "Didn't you set up a barrier underground?"
Xuan Yao, watching the boy's departing figure, asked, "Who would set up a barrier underground?"
"Next time, remember to set the barrier to a sphere, and this problem won't occur again."
"Okay! What should we do now?"
"You stay here and take care of them, I'll go after them and check on them."
"careful!"
Shao Yanzhe emerged from the dilapidated temple, grabbed a horse, and gave chase.
Fortunately, the boy wasn't very skilled at using resentment, and Shao Yanzhe was able to track down the destination based on the resentment left in the air.
As soon as he arrived at his destination, he saw black fog billowing in the center of the town, which looked extremely ominous.
"That kid's really fast!"
Fortunately, there was no bloodthirsty aura mixed in, so they probably hadn't had a chance to kill anyone yet.
That's normal. Given the boy's personality, he'd probably torture him thoroughly, vent his anger, and then kill him.
Shao Yanzhe arrived at the residence shrouded in resentment. After setting up a layer of spiritual energy protection on his body, he stepped into the half-open door.
As soon as he stepped inside, he heard wailing and accusations coming from within.
"Waaaaah! I didn't mean to! Don't kill me! I'll never do it again!"
"How have I taught you all this time? How could you commit such a heinous act over such a trivial matter!"
"Waaah, my lord, I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"
"Shut up, all of you! If you cry again, I'll kill you all!" the boy's impatient voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, the wailing instantly ceased, leaving only soft sobs.
Shao Yanzhe thought for a moment and then walked into the front hall in front of him.
As soon as he entered, he saw the young man sitting imposingly in the main seat, with three people kneeling on the ground opposite him.
These three must be the same three who were crying earlier. They knelt on the ground reluctantly, especially the middle-aged man in the middle, who tried to stand up but looked at the boy with an unfriendly gaze.
The man and woman beside the middle-aged man looked at the boy with venomous eyes, but one of them had his head down and the other had covered his face with a handkerchief, so it was impossible to see their emotions unless you looked closely.
However, they probably don't realize that the boy, being a demon, is all too familiar with human emotions, after all, he is now a demon who primarily feeds on humans!
The boy looked up at them, his eyes filled with interest.
He has now figured out the whole story from back then, and he finds it utterly ridiculous.
When he looked up, he met Shao Yanzhe's gaze, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Why did you follow me here?
"Of course, it's to keep an eye on you and prevent you from getting your hands dirty with human lives."
"Hmph! Don't worry, I will only kill those who deserve to die!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned to look at the middle-aged man opposite him: "Since they took advantage of your power, deceived me, and conspired to harm me, you should find someone to hang these two people right now!"
The middle-aged man glanced at the person next to him, a look of hesitation flashing across his face: "This, this isn't quite right! They are, after all, your stepmother and your brother. Let's be lenient. I'll punish them by grounding them for a year."
The boy suddenly stood up, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the middle-aged man. He then reached out and grabbed the man by the neck, lifting him up.
"I'm not discussing this with you!"
"Now, immediately, right now, do as I say!"
The middle-aged man, his neck gripped and suffocating, managed to utter, "Fine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy threw him to the ground, his eyes filled with disgust.
The other two, however, were not having it and stepped forward to grab the middle-aged man's sleeves.
"Master, I have served you diligently for more than ten years. How can you bear to do this to me?"
"Father! I am your own son. Your other son is already dead. You only have me as your son to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days!"
"Waaah! You heartless man, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have married you in the first place."
"Father! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, you can't kill me!"
The middle-aged man's face immediately showed a look of pity, and his gaze towards the two was full of tenderness.
The two people next to him were secretly pleased, thinking that he had given up.
Unexpectedly, when the middle-aged man closed his eyes and reopened them, his eyes were filled with icy coldness.
"I'm sorry, Ayu, I'm sorry, Tianhe, this is not what I wanted to do. If I didn't do it, he would definitely kill me."
"You wouldn't have the heart to watch me die, would you?"
Shao Yanzhe frowned at the scene before him, his face full of disgust.
This old man is already quite old, yet he still acts like a hypocrite; he's truly a scoundrel jumping on the shoe.
It's disgusting!
Author's Note: Sorry! It's late!
